I've been attending the University of Alabama for about two months now, and I absolutely love it! The campus is so beautiful, especially around fall. The quad is amazing during football games. You can see the sense of community during the school days and on the weekend during games. On school days you can see how hundreds of students from different backgrounds come together to study or socialize. On the weekends you can see how much all the students love our school by their support for the football team. You can also see the support through alumni who continue to come back to campus. Another thing i've started to realize is how blessed we are with some of the greatest teachers. The teachers I've met so far have been not only welcoming but seem to know exactly what they're talking about. They actually seem as if they enjoy teaching and enjoy their students. I've greatly enjoyed school here so far due to the beautiful campus, friendly people, and brilliant teachers.
I have recently completed my first semester at the University of Alabama and all i have to say is ROLL TIDE! Attending this school has been one of the best decisions of my life so far. I come from far up North yet it has been soo easy to make friends as generally everyone is very friendly. The campus itself is very beautiful well maintained. My dorm (Presidential Village) is quite large and pretty nice. And I must say there is nothing that compares to the campus atmosphere on game day. The teachers are like any other school and can be a hit or a miss so do your research on them. The same can be said about the food at the dining halls and freshman are required to purchase an unlimited meal plan unless you go greek. Greek life is also pretty major but you can definitely have fun if you don't join, especially if you're a girl. All in all college is what you make it but the University of Alabama won't let you be anything less than great, as you can tell by our football team. Roll Tide
It's a great school with an incredibly welcoming environment, especially for out of state students. The class sizes are fairly reasonable and the only difficult thing about class sizes is that registration is often difficult because the class sizes aren't too big! Overall a great school I would recommend to anyone looking to further their education.
